and i’m not saying this because of the massive rock guitars and i’m still not out on the (slightly?) processed or triggered? drum sound(s) but this is a poor digital version so i will wait for the full hi def master version on that one…

pretty awesome track with loads of energy, short and snappy, bit Zeitgeist-like in some ways, but also some old school elements with a dash of futurism/now-ness thrown in for good measure and hey: it all works…

I’m going to try for a few copies,so if anyone wants one I’ll let you know how I get on. Not got much hope though, after the Aegea release.[/quote:3s45hijz]
it looks like you were worried for no reason. it’s still not sold out.
there are 29 copies left right now. they’re almost there.

Thoughts about the new album? It has some instant classics for me (Tiberius, Being Beige, Drum + Fife), a few that have grown on me the last few days and continue to do so (Anaise!, Dorian, Monuments) and one that I wish I never have to hear as long as I live (Run2Me).

I’m afraid to say we have just realized that we have actually over sold slightly on the test pressings by accident. Unfortunately this means your order is one of the ones affected. We’re very sorry about this. The record label is making more to fit demand but the problem is they are unlikely to be ready in time for Christmas.

We are happy to refund you if you are not prepared to wait. We realize this is much longer than you expected to receive them.

And after asking them how many extra copies they are going to press, I received this:

I completely appreciate how displeased you must be, however if it makes you feel any better, there will have been two runs of vinyl which means two sets of test pressings will be needed. One with 10 test pressings and the second with 5, so they will be equally rare.

it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. they (pre-)sold 15 test pressings, but only 10 of them are already available. the other 5 will follow. with apologies. and if you want to, you can still get a refund. so it’s just an unexpected delay, really.that’s a lot better than “oh, we sold 15 copies, but now it turns out there are only 10, so you will not be getting one. however, we might peel the labels off a normal copy and put a white label instead and sell that to you for $155, just because we’re so nice.”

I’m still not sure, though to me it sounds like they pressed 10 copies and sold 15. Anyway, I just received the following – rather depressing – message:

I’m extremely sorry to now notify you that the label have asked us to refund the unfulfilled test pressings saying they are not going to be able to fulfill them.

I vey sorry for the confusion. As a result I would like to offer you a gratis AccessPass of any PledgeMusic artist as a gesture of apology for the mix up. Please let us know which you would like access to.

If it makes you feel any better, I tried to buy TP when they were put up for sale.I tried 10 times or more but payment is not accepted.It seemed to me that they did not sell customers outside the US…I was disappointed…But what you have experienced is very very disappointing.
